A plant that wilts in poor soil isn't broken. It's in the wrong conditions.
Kindred Field starts from the same premise about people: struggling at work is rarely a sign that something is wrong with you. More often, it's a sign that the conditions (the expectations, the pace, the unspoken rules) weren't built with you in mind.
